Which of the following can be inferred from the lase paragraph?根据以下资料,回答下面的题目。In the 2006 film version of The Devil Wears Prada, Miranda Priestly, played by Meryl Streep, scold her unattractive assistant for imagining that high fashion doesn’t affect her.Priestly explains how the deep blue color of the assistant’s sweater descended over the years from fashion shows to department stores and to the bargain bin in which the poor girl doubtless found her garment.This top-down conception of the fashion business couldn’t be more out of date or at odds with feverish world described in Overdressed, Elizabeth Cline’s three-year indictment of “fast fashion”.In the last decades or so, advances in technology have allowed mass-market labels such as Zara, H&M, and Uniqlo to react to trends more quickly and anticipate demand more precisely.Quckier turnrounds mean less wasted inventory, more frequent releases, and more profit.Those labels encourage style-conscious consumers to see clothes as disposal—— meant to last only a wash or two, although they don’t advertise that——and to renew their wardrobe every few weeks.By offering on-trend items at dirt-cheap prices, Cline argues, these brands have hijacked fashion cycles, shaking all industry long accustomed to a seasonal pace.The victims of this revolution, of course, are not limited to designers.For H&M to offer a 5.95 knit miniskirt in all its 2300-plus stores around the world, it must rely on low-wage, overseas labor, order in volumes that strain natural resources, and use massive amount of harmful chemicals.Overdressed is the fashion world’s answer to consumer activist bestsellers like Michael Pollan’s The Omnivore’s Dilemma.Mass-produced clothing, like fast food, fills a hunger and need, yet is non-durable, and wasteful,” Cline argues, Americans, she finds, buy roughly 20 billion garments a year——about 64 items per person——and no matter how much they give away, this excess leads to waste.Towards the end of Overdressed, Cline introduced her ideal, a Brooklyn woman named SKB, who, since 2008 has make all of her own clothes——and beautifully.But as Cline is the first to note, it took Beaumont decades to perfect her craft; her example, can’t be knocked off.Though several fast-fashion companies have made efforts to curb their impact on labor and the environment——including H&M, with its green Conscious Collection Line——Cline believes lasting-change can only be effected by the customer.She exhibits the idealism common to many advocates of sustainability, be it in food or in energy.Vanity is a constant; people will only start shopping more sustainably when they can’t afford to it.Priestly criticizes her assistant for her
A. Vanity has more often been found in idealists.
B. The fast-fashion industry ignores sustainability.
C. People are more interested in unaffordable garments.
D. Pricing is vital to environment-friendly purchasing.

When a person sneezes, we say" God bless you" because __________根据下列材料,请回答下面的题目:When a 13-year-old Virginia girl started sneezing, her parents thought it was merely a cold. Butwhen the sneezes continued for hours, they called in a doctor. Nearly two months later the girl wasstill sneezing, thousands of times a day, and her case had attracted worldwide attention.Hundreds of suggestions, ranging from"put a clothes pin on her nose"to "have her stand on herhead"poured in. But nothing did any good. Finally,she was taken to Johns Hopkins Hospital whereDr. Leo Kanner, one of the world’s top authorities on sneezing, solved the baffling (难以理解的)problem with great speed.He used neither drugs nor surgery, curiously enough, the clue for the treatment was found in anancient superstition about the amazing bodily reaction we call the sneeze. It was all in her mind, hesaid, a view which Aristotle, some 3,000 years earlier, would have agreed with heartily.Dr. Kanner simply gave a modem psychological interpretation to the ancient belief that too muchsneezing was an indication that the spirit was troubled; and he began to treat the girl accordingly."Less than two days in a hospital room, a plan for better scholastic and vocational adjustment,and reassurance about her unreasonable fear of tuberculosis quickly changed her from a sneezer to anex-sneezer," he reported.Sneezing has always been a subject of wonder, awe and puzzlement. Dr. Kanner has collectedthousands of superstitions concerning it. The most universal one is the custom of begging for theblessing of God when a person sneezes a practice Dr. Kanner traces back to the ancient belief that asneeze was an indication that the sneezer was possessed of an evil spirit. Strangely, people over theworld still continue the custom with the traditional, "God bless you" or its equivalent.When scientists look at the sneeze, they see a remarkable mechanism which, without any con-scious help from you, takes on a job that has to be done. When you need to sneeze you sneeze, thisbeing nature’s clever way of getting rid of an annoying object from the nose. The object may be justsome dust in the nose which nature is striving to remove.The girl sneezed continuously because she ________
A. it’s a tradition
B. the person is possessed of an evil spirit
C. the person is ill
D. God will bless those who sneeze
